Auberdine — a guide to the Darkshore port
Auberdine is a night elf port village on the coast of Darkshore, the zone's main quest hub and an important Alliance sea junction. From here boats sail to Menethil on the Eastern Kingdoms and to Rut'theran by Darnassus — so the village ties the night elf homeland to the rest of the world.

◆What Auberdine offers
The small village covers the needs of a traveler and a leveling player:
| Facility | Why |
|---|---|
| Flight master | flights across northern Kalimdor |
| Two docks | boats to Menethil and Rut'theran |
| Quest givers | Darkshore quests |
| Vendors and repair | supplies and fixing |
| Inn and mail | rest, letters, hearth point |
Auberdine has no bank or auction house — for those you sail to Darnassus.
◆Boats: Menethil and Rut'theran
Auberdine is a sea junction in two directions. One boat goes to Menethil in Wetlands — the gateway to the Eastern Kingdoms continent. The other runs to Rut'theran — the crossing village to the capital Darnassus on Teldrassil.
For night elves this is how a player gets from the starting lands into the wider world. More is in the travel guide.
The Darkshore quest hub
Auberdine is the heart of leveling in Darkshore, a level 10-20 zone. From here players take quest chains along the whole coast: sunken temples, ruins and the riddles of the ancient night elves.
It is one of the first zones an elven character reaches after the starting area, so Auberdine is a familiar early-leveling base.
◆Surroundings and dangers
The Darkshore coast is patrolled by murlocs, naga and beasts. Auberdine itself is guarded, but the beaches and ruins around it are dangerous for a low-level loner.
The village is handy as a staging point: from here it is a short hop to the capital via Rut'theran and to the Eastern Kingdoms via Menethil.
